How Comfama unified 9,400+ cultural events under one platform

Comfama is the Caja de Compensación Familiar of Antioquia, Colombia. It serves millions of members and their families through cultural, educational, and recreational programs. From talks and workshops to theater, stand-up comedy, and library reading circles, Comfama runs hundreds of events each month. Its mission: give the community of Antioquia access to culture, education, and wellbeing.

INITIAL CHALLENGES Hundreds of events. No single system.

Before Eventtia, Comfama managed a large volume of events, and each one was handled independently. The team used different tools and worked with external agencies. Registration data, attendance numbers, and participant information were scattered across systems.

There was no centralized view. To get an overall picture, the team had to manually consolidate data from every single event. Some events did not even have a check-in process; attendees would simply show up.

Cost visibility was another blind spot. With so many tools and providers involved, tracking what each event actually cost was difficult.

THE SOLUTION One platform. 9,400+ events. 510,000+ registrants.

Eventtia provides Comfama with a centralized platform to manage all their event operations. With 100 active users and a setup that took one year of development, onboarding, and training, the platform now supports their full event program. With Eventtia, Comfama is able to:

• Register multiple attendee types, including a family model where only adults can register minors (ages 0 to 17), through advanced event registration.
• Issue a QR code to every attendee for identification and access.
• Upload participant lists in bulk for large-scale event registration.
• Create events in bulk directly from a database file, a custom feature built for their needs.
• Use the Eventtia OnSite app for check-in, with checkpoints for activities.
• Connect their data lake via API for automatic, standardized event data flow.
• Log in securely through SSO with OneLogin.
• Receive monthly usage reports covering event stats, registrants, and attendance.

THE BENEFITS Full visibility. Full control. One system.

Switching to Eventtia brought clear results for Comfama:

• Unified event operations: Instead of managing hundreds of independent events with manually consolidated data, Comfama now has a single platform with centralized visibility into registrations, attendance, and participant data.
• Automated data flow: The API integration with their data lake means event data feeds automatically into Comfama's broader information systems. No more manual data transfers.
• One tool for everything: The team no longer juggles disconnected processes for registration, check-in, and reporting. Everything lives in one system.
• Data governance: User access controls give Comfama proper governance over personal data handling. This matters given the volume of participant data they process, including data from minors.
• Scale with consistency: In June 2026 alone, Comfama completed 440 events with more than 25,000 registrants, all managed through the same centralized platform.

Comfama has unified its entire event operation under one platform.

With API-connected data, automated workflows, and proper governance over participant information, Comfama can focus on what matters most: giving the community of Antioquia access to culture, education, and wellbeing.
